Chapter 186 Don’t you feel embarrassed when you lie?
Lu Chen picked up the chopsticks with his slender fingers and reached straight for the tempting sweet and sour pork ribs in Xu Nuo's bowl.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "What a coincidence, I also like sweet and sour pork ribs. Nuonuo ordered this specially for me. We didn't know you like it too."
Before he finished speaking, the piece of ribs had already fallen steadily into his mouth. He chewed it carefully, his brows relaxed.
Shi Ning's eyes followed the disappearing ribs closely, and the expression on his face froze for a moment.
As everyone said, this guy is not an easy person to deal with!!
Lu Chen's sharp eyes accurately captured Shi Ning's stiff expression at that moment, and a sneer flashed across his eyes.
He picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it back into Shi Ning's bowl. "It's rude not to reciprocate."
Shi Ning stared at the ribs in the bowl, and the flames in his heart began to grow.
This guy!! I really want to throw this piece of pork ribs directly at his face!!
Are these ribs for him to eat?
It tastes delicious!
Seeing that he was hesitant to move, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked up at him: "What? Don't like it? If you don't like it, don't force yourself. Nuonuo and I are both straightforward people, not hypocritical or beating around the bush. Just say you don't like it, there's no need to pretend you like it."
After saying that, he picked up the ribs and put them back into his bowl again, his movements smooth and natural, done in one go.
Straightforward? Hypocritical and beating around the bush? Who are you pointing at with these words?
Shi Ning clenched his fists. Although he didn't want to take it personally, he was sure that the words were meant to seduce him.
Xu Nuo was watching on the side in amazement. If she couldn't see the problem now, then she was blind.
This old man is really...
How did such a nice meal turn into a battlefield filled with smoke and gunpowder?
She quietly reached out and pinched Lu Chen under the table, her eyes full of warning: This is your lifesaver, give him some face! Be restrained! After all, you are eight years older than him! !
Lu Chen seemed unaware of it. He turned around and gave Xu Nuo a brilliant smile, his eyes full of pampering and indulgence.
Xu Nuo rolled his eyes helplessly and turned to greet Shi Ning, "Shi Ning, you're welcome, eat it while it's hot."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ning gave Xu Nuo a brilliant smile: "Okay, you eat too."
Xu Nuo held up the candied haws and took a bite. She smiled and said, "I'll finish this first and then have dinner."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen's eyes were already fixed on the string of candied haws.
I've been displeased with that string of candied haws for a long time!!
He reached out and took the candied haws directly from Xu Nuo's hand. With quick and decisive movements, he bit off all the hawthorns on it in just a few bites.
Xu Nuo widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
Lu Chen doesn't like sweets, and he doesn't even like sour food, but he likes spicy food.
What's wrong with this guy today?
Are you so angry with Shi Ning that even your taste has changed?
She couldn't help laughing and asked teasingly, "Is it delicious?"
Lu Chen swallowed the last bite of the candied haws without changing his expression, nodded, and said calmly: "It tastes good."
He paused, then added, "I like to eat it too, don't you remember?"
Xu Nuo almost couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking to himself: How shameless! You lie without even blushing?
Love to eat ghost!
Of course she knew the reason for Lu Chen's abnormal behavior, so she turned around and asked Shi Ning casually, "I remember you said that I am very similar to your sister? Does your sister have the same personality as me?"
How could Shi Ning not understand her intention?
He smiled and said, "Yes, I regard you as my sister. You are both gentle and beautiful."
When he said this, his eyes were sincere, as if he had no distractions.
Hearing this, Lu Chen sneered in his heart.
This little trick might be useful to fool little girls, but he doesn't believe it at all.
How many men would look at their "sister" like Shi Ning, almost with anger coming out of their eyes?
He spoke with a teasing tone: "You are wrong, Nuonuo is not gentle, she is a little hot pepper."
Shi Ning didn't care and still responded with a smile: "In my eyes, they are all the same."
Xu Nuo: Little Pepper?
Okay, Lu Chen, I’ll remember it!
As we were talking, the waiter brought another dish.
Lu Chen took the chopsticks first, picked up a piece of meat, blew it gently, and then brought it to Xu Nuo's mouth, saying gently: "Try this, it's your favorite."
Xu Nuo really wanted to roll his eyes, but he still cooperated, opened his mouth and ate the meat.
The soup accidentally spilled on the corner of her mouth. Seeing this, Lu Chen raised his hand and gently wiped it off for her with his fingertips. His movements were so gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure.
He ruffled her hair and said lovingly, "Eat more. You've lost weight recently."
Shi Ning looked at this scene, his temples throbbing, he really wanted to go berserk! !
How can I eat this meal?!
But he knew that if he ran away now, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat.
He gritted his teeth and continued eating, still maintaining a decent smile on his face.
Under the table, Xu Nuo quietly held Lu Chen's hand and gently stroked his palm with his fingertips.
Lu Chen looked at her, and she silently said to him: "Jealous King, he doesn't have that intention, just eat well! Please!"
The corners of Lu Chen's mouth rose slightly, and the coldness in his eyes faded a little, but the strength in his hands increased a bit, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
The dishes were almost all served, and Shi Ning calmed down and stopped bothering himself with unnecessary things.
Lu Chen picked up the wine glass, his expression solemn and his tone sincere: "Shi Ning, this time, thanks to you, Nuonuo is safe. We will remember this kindness in our hearts."
Shi Ning twitched the corner of his mouth, but finally suppressed his sarcastic words.
He also raised his glass in response: "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
In the following time, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
The three of them focused on the dishes on the table, occasionally commenting on the food.
Xu Nuo picked up a piece of steamed fish, tasted it carefully and said with a smile: "This fish is really tender, the cooking time is just right."
Lu Chen nodded in agreement and picked up another piece for her: "Eat more if you like it."
Shi Ning was concentrating on the stir-fried seasonal vegetables in front of him, seemingly tasting them seriously.
After finishing the meal, Shi Ning stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you for your hospitality. My relatives are still in the hospital and I have to go back to take care of them."
It would be fine if Xu Nuo didn’t know, but since she already knew, she had to go and see.
"I'll go with you to visit the patient."
Shi Ning raised his eyes, glanced at Lu Chen, and then retracted his gaze: "No need, the doctor told the patient to rest. Besides, she is introverted and doesn't like to meet strangers."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Xu Nuo did not force him and just asked one more question: "What is the disease of your relative? If you need help, please let me know."
Shi Ning answered briefly: "Heart disease."
"It sounds serious." Xu Nuo said.
"Not bad." Shi Ning looked down at the watch on his wrist. "She should be waking up. If I'm not here, she'll be worried. I'm leaving first. See you later."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
"Heart disease..." Xu Nuo murmured, "Dad also has a heart disease."
"Yeah." Lu Chen responded softly, and his mind suddenly recalled the phone call on Friday night.
